After getting kicked out of yet another school, Jake, a spikey-haired, juvenile delinquent with a bad attitude ends up being sent to the Creative Academy, the home of a quirky family in which all the children are home schooled. Much as he tries to intimidate the family with his piercings, outlandish hairdo, and black clothing, no one seems impressed or bothered by Jake's appearance. In fact, they're all too busy to notice Jake and he's pretty much left on his own. So what is a juvenile delinquent to do? Find out what happens to Jake in this really funny novel.
